Developers may use a USB cable to connect their ZTE Open C device with their personal computer, using the AppManager tool provided by Mozilla to access source code for applications, and conduct application testing.

"Developers will have root access to the ZTE Open C device, enabling read/write access to all files and directories through the "adb remount" command. This allows users to import and export files between their PCs and devices," a statement said.

"Developers will be able to export journal documents through the "adb" command for testing and analysis," it said.

"Developers will be able to install software upgrades and update image files through the "fastboot" command," the company said in a statement.

In addition, ZTE Open C, now available on eBay, offers users a sleek intuitive design richly equipped with features including a 4-inch screen and a 1.2GHz dual-core Qualcomm processor based on the A7 architecture. It is the first smartphone to ship with the latest version of Firefox OS, bringing performance improvements, enhanced messaging and multimedia capabilities to first time smartphone users at an affordable price.
